The OP stated that there is no installation media for Works, it's on a hidden partition.

Hi, my Acer Aspire 5920 notebook came with a preinstalled MS Works and the setup files are embedded in a hiding partition of the hdd. Now Windows update tells me to do an update and when i try to run the update the computer is looking for the file works8.msi. I don't know where to find it, thus cannot finish the update. Any suggestions?
Thanks & best regards

This is the answer to you question from an earlier posting..
1. Download the update from this link (SAVE it to your desktop, don't RUN
it): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=458985C3-9C6F-4049-81CD-0D0389C81F11&displaylang=en
2. Insert your MS Works 8 CD (if available) into the appropriate drive bay.
3. Double-click on the saved file to install the update; follow all prompts.
